Notable features include non-slip rubber grips and a self-opening spring. The Typhoon's cutters boast a Rockwell Hardness of 70+, described by Dr. Slick as "lethal on all monofilament, new age braid, and synthetic lines plus coated wire up to 60-pound." The pliers' jaws offer a half smooth and half striated design. Perhaps most intriguing about the new Typhoon pliers is their price point, appealing to anglers who have sought premium pliers but hesitated at the price tags of competing models. At an MSRP of $60, anglers who have been relying on heavy, rusty needle-nose pliers that quickly deteriorate in saltwater may find Dr. Slick's new premium, saltwater-safe solution enticing.
